I gave this 3.5 stars because I actually liked it, but the synopsis is misleading. This book is not MMF. It's MM and then MF. It got more engaging to me once Tristan picks up Isolde, but that happens about 3/4 of the way through. It's a very interesting take on Tristan & Isolde, and I do feel their connection was more natural, though they spent much less time together than Mark and Tristan. In contrast, it seems as if Tristan wanted to be owned and punished by this powerful, magnetic man because of his guilt and self-loathing rather than a genuine connection. I'm intrigued to see how this plays out in the next book, because it doesn't seem like it will be that smooth of an integration of relationships.

I am very late to this one, but I received an ARC of this book and it was quite a different take on Tristan and Isolde, though not in a bad way! If you like MM/MF and kink, this one is for you. It has a setting as a bodyguard/client who runs a kink club set up and things get, well, kinky. It has some discovery of preferences and needs, romance, a bit of mystery and intrigue, and some banter. And that's only the first part--then things really get interesting!

Salt Kiss definitely delivers on the spice—there's no shortage of heat in this one. However, I found it hard to connect with the characters, which made it a bit difficult to fully invest in their journey. The romance felt rushed at times, and I think it could have benefited from a little more depth and development. If you're looking for a quick, steamy read, this might hit the spot, but I was hoping for more emotional depth.
